Asian Minorities in Europe and in North America: A Transatlantic Dialogue on Memories, Representations and Recognition

Event.

June 12, 2023 at Sciences Po Paris (amphitheater Leroy-Beaulieu), 27 rue Saint-Guillaume, 75007 Paris

The surge of the anti-Asian bigotry since the COVID-19 has aroused a general awareness about the prejudices against Asian populations. However, its causes, patterns and responses remain little explored. This international conference will bring together researchers and activists from Europe and North America to compare the memories, representations and recognition of Asian populations in different national contexts. Two central questions are addressed: First, how do groups and individuals with Asian heritage appropriate collective memories to fight for a fairer representation in Europe and in North America? Secondly, how do different regimes of diversity in multicultural democratic countries determine the recognition of Asian minorities in the public space? Through a transatlantic dialogue, we expect to come up with plausible directions for future research and actions on Asian minorities acknowledgement in Western societies.
